2. New Jerseys (Minus the Statement Jerseys)

On the flip side of what I said earlier, I love the new icon and association jerseys.

This modern take on the old retro 80’s jerseys is just the kind of a breath of fresh air the Lakers needed going into this new era of Lakers basketball.

Personally, whenever I play NBA 2K, I always use the old retro jerseys for every game that I play. I always hoped that the Lakers would bring these jerseys back in some way shape or form, and how they have in more than the virtual world.

And you better believe when these jerseys were first unveiled, I was ecstatic to see the Lakers wear these jerseys on the court (except for the statement jerseys).

I have yet to order one myself, but when I do I’m gonna wear it every day for the rest of my life.

I’m kidding. Maybe just 2 to 3 times a week.
